Causal Theory of Action

Abstract: This 12 page report discusses causal theory of action and the fact that it is in and of itself an example of the ways in which causal realism describes a direct perception of causality rather than a perception based an actual innate ability or a learned response. The psychological aspect of the causal theory suggests that perception can be separated into mental and physical parts, which are then related as cause and effect. Unlike the theories associated with behaviorism, causal theorism presents the idea that mental states are real inner states that cause human behavior. In other words, behaving in certain ways is not all that there is to thinking or the processes of intelligence. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
